The Wicker Man. Saw this years ago cos it used to be on telly all the time but I’d forgotten most of it except for the end. The new 4k restore is on sale on Amazon so we watched it last night. The first thing that stands out is how funny it is, then there’s the music and creepy villagers. The moment Woodward got off his plane I thought fuck that. I would’ve immediately turned round and got out. Anyway the film well deserves it’s classic horror tag. Edward Woodward being a staunch Christian. Christopher Lee in drag. Britt Ekland naked. I haven’t seen the Nic Cage version but apparently it’s absolute dog shit. I’m tempted to get it just to see
